[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1409340, member: 56379"] I don't mean to be negative...but other than the water-cooled Powermac G5 versions...from performance standpoint...the 1.6ghz Powermac G5 was probably the worst Powermac model made (has a number of performance crippling features). Unless you got a REALLY good deal on this computer...I would have recommended nothing less than a 1.8 or 2.0ghz dual processor Powermac G5. As far as the benefits of upgrading to OS 10.5 Leopard. It's the newest OS version this computer will ever run...but it's going to cost you $80-$100 to get a 10.5 install disk (used on e-Bay). Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
